“A Psycho’s Guide to Dating Women”

Understanding legal rules is something John Megara became accustomed to as a corporate lawyer. But when it came to dating rules, that’s a different story.

“I was really happy the first time I kissed a girl,” Megara told PlayDeadPress.com. “But then one of my friends said I did it wrong since I had asked her permission before kissing her.”

That was the first dating rule Megara learned: You’re not supposed to ask.

Over time, Megara learned more dating rules through experience—and often the hard way. He also continued receiving free advice from his friends.

His exasperation with those “unwritten” courting rules prompted him to write a book about dating.

It started out as soul searching over his frustration with dating and the need to understand the process. But it turned into something different.

“A Psycho’s Guide to Dating Women” is an extreme look at the dating scene. With chapter headings such as Work Out Five Hours a Day, Change Your Name to Constance, and Lie Your Face Off, Megara’s work highlights the shallowness of modern romance.

“The book looks like a guide, but it’s a satire,” says Megara. “Situations in the book are exaggerated to show how bizarre the dating scene is right now.”
